CHAPTER 569: CHAPTER 0488: TO MARRY ME, ONE MUST BE A PEERLESS DEVIL (EIGHT UPDATES)

In front of these two Junior War Kings, he remained calm and composed.

After all, Ye Qingfeng was now already half a step into the War King Realm.

Even against an ordinary High-level King Warrior, he was unafraid.

This was the confidence of his Immortal Venerable status.

Without even raising his hand, he spoke calmly.

"Master Qian, time is running out. We can set off now!"

On the verdant official road, three carriages moved steadily, each surrounded by no less than ten escorts of strong build.

Qian Liuzhi and Tie Wuqing rode two white horses at the forefront, attracting the attention of passing travelers, who couldn’t help but marvel.

In this modern age, there were still people who chose to travel by horseback and carriage. Those unaware might think they had returned to ancient times.

The first carriage carried the clothes of the escort agency members. The last one was for passengers. But the one in the middle carried a not-too-large iron box. If it were ancient times, this would be called an escort carriage.

Inside the iron box lay an extraordinarily sharp Divine Sword—Chiyou Sword.

Even through the iron box, everyone could feel a murderous and violent aura.

Weiyuan Escort Agency followed ancestral teachings and did not choose modern vehicles but took the old route, traveling by carriage, preserving ancient customs.

Ye Qingfeng leaned on the last carriage, holding the reins. It was his first time experiencing this novelty.

The carriage he rode in was full of vitality. Besides him, inside were Tie Zixi, Fu Feilong, and Qian Gu.

"It’s really strange. Why would my father let that boy outside come with us? He has no spiritual power and isn’t a Martial Artist. If we really encounter any fighting, he’d just be a burden. What’s the use?"

Qian Gu commented with disdain inside.

Fu Feilong and Tie Zixi also shook their heads slightly, very puzzled by Ye Qingfeng’s sudden inclusion.

When Ye Qingfeng arrived at Weiyuan Escort Agency, Qian Liuzhi and Tie Wuqing had no intention of bringing him along, but after Qian Liuzhi received a call, he decisively included Ye Qingfeng in the convoy.

Riding the white horse, Qian Liuzhi turned back to look at Ye Qingfeng, remembering the words Ye Gang said to him on the phone a few hours ago.

"Old Qian, that’s the Ye Family’s genius son; you haven’t seen him, right? I can’t come, so I let him go over there to help you. With him, you can rest easy, no need to worry too much! But you must promise me that no matter what happens on the journey, you must not reveal his identity."

Qian Liuzhi was very surprised at the time, not expecting Ye Qingfeng to be the Ye Family’s genius.

Though he had a good relationship with Ye Gang, they were gentlemanly friends and didn’t often meet, so he wasn’t familiar with the Ye Family’s members.

Qian Liuzhi never doubted Ye Gang’s words, but this time he couldn’t help but feel puzzled. Besides being handsome and having a tall and straight posture with an innate arrogance, Ye Qingfeng showed no hint of martial prowess. Could such a person really be the Ye Family’s genius?

Or perhaps Brother Ye just wanted this young guy to gain some experience?

Qian Liuzhi racked his brain but couldn’t figure it out.

This mission was fraught with danger, and he truly didn’t know how Ye Qingfeng could assure them of peace.

"Brother Qian, who in the world is that young man, and why bring him along?"

Tie Wuqing, riding alongside Qian Liuzhi, asked aloud.

"Brother Tie, let’s leave that explanation for another day. I’m quite confused myself right now!"

Qian Liuzhi replied vaguely, not revealing Ye Qingfeng’s identity.

Tie Wuqing saw this, knowing Qian Liuzhi had his difficulties, and did not press further.

The group continued eastward, the journey tedious, and the young people in Ye Qingfeng’s carriage were getting restless.

Tie Zixi’s stunningly beautiful face was close at hand, stirring Qian Gu’s heart.

With a beauty by his side, Fu Feilong also found it hard to remain calm.

"Zixi, we haven’t seen each other for a while, I’ve really missed you!"

Growing up under Qian Liuzhi’s shadow, Qian Gu always felt that the world’s things were at his fingertips, including the girls he liked, so he was very direct when he spoke.

Tie Zixi smiled politely, "Brother Qian Gu is joking. Aren’t we seeing each other now?"

Her smile was as radiant and beautiful as a blooming flower, filling Qian Gu with uncontrollable delight.

"Zixi, once this mission is over, I’ll ask my dad to propose to your family!"

In his excitement, he finally said the words he’d long wanted to say but hadn’t had the chance to express.

Tie Zixi smiled silently, not commenting on this.

Upon hearing this, Fu Feilong’s eyes turned cold, and he said in a deep voice, "Young Master Qian, even if your father has a good relationship with Zixi’s father, she might not agree to marry you!"

His face showed a hint of pride: "Apologies, I’m also deeply fond of Zixi. I have already discussed it with my grandfather, and I plan to propose to the Tie Family soon!"

"What did you say?" Qian Gu’s eyes widened, glaring as he said, "What gives you the right to compete with me for Zixi?"

Fu Feilong laughed coldly, "Just the fact that I’m twenty-two today and have reached High-level War General. What stage is your cultivation at now?"

Qian Gu’s face froze. At twenty-one, even though Qian Liuzhi frequently urged him to practice, he was only at Intermediate War General at this moment, indeed a notch below Fu Feilong.

Fu Feilong wore a proud expression. His talent placed him among the best of Huaxia’s younger generation, enough to serve as a source of pride. Although Qian Gu was Qian Liuzhi’s only son, Fu Feilong wasn’t intimidated.

Ye Qingfeng, leaning against the outside of the carriage, gently shook his head, having no interest in such jealous rivalries.

"Stop quarreling, all of you!" Tie Zixi, cold as the Cold Moon Fairy, spoke sternly, "I’m always straightforward. Your intentions for me are clear!"

She changed the topic, continuing, "If you wish to marry me, that’s possible, but you don’t yet meet the qualifications!"

Upon her words, Qian Gu and Fu Feilong turned their heads, awaiting further explanation. Tie Zixi was not an ordinary girl; her thoughts and intentions were difficult to predict.

"To marry me, you must be among the strongest of the younger generation!"

Tie Zixi’s beautiful eyes rippled with emotion as she spoke softly.

"Among the strongest of the younger generation?"

Fu Feilong and Qian Gu both fell silent. Though their talents were decent, it was indeed challenging for them to be deemed the top among the younger generation.

"The strongest of the younger generation currently known in Huaxia, aside from those devils like Yu Yaosheng, Yan Bufan, and Yang Linmie, would be Wei Wuming from the Yanjing Wei Family!"

"This person ranks tenth on the Hidden Dragon List. His martial arts talent is apparent from this."

Fu Feilong spoke deeply. Compared to Wei Wuming, he was indeed slightly inferior. This man, similar in age to himself, had already reached the Peak of War General, only a step away from the Junior War King Realm. Among Huaxia’s younger generation, only some devils could overshadow him.
